Lily Abott & Goblet of Fire

Chapter 18: The Pensive

   "I witnessed something disturbing." Hary replied looking at his feet. "Do you know the password?"

"Coackroach Clusters!" I called out and the gargoyle sprang aside.

When we came to the top we could hear voices arguing.

"We should wrap this up." Moody growled.

"Lets, we need to conduct a ground search." I heard Fudge reply.

"No, this conversations no longer private." Moody replied and the door opened to reveal Albus, Moody, and Fudge.

"Harry! Shouldn't you be in class?" Fudge asked.

"I-we wanted to talk to you Professor." Harry answered.

"Wait for me here you two. Our search shouldn't take long." Albus said leaving the room.

"Hello Fawkes." Harry said to the phineox. I sat down in the chair across from the desk.

I was busy looking around the room until, "Lily, look at this cabinet." I glanced to see my brother was pointing at a cabinet that I knew was supposed to be locked.

"Harry leave that alone." I said sharply. However, my brother didn't listen.

He poked his head in, and vanished from view. I sighed, "boys."

I stood up to stroke the phineox gently. The pet let loose a few tears, and I conjured up a flask to capture the tears.

Albus returned. "Where's Harry?"

I pointed to the pensieve. "I told him to keep away, but he wouldn't listen." I said frustrated.

"I'll get him Sarah, don't worry." Albus said bending to look into the depths.

I scowled at his back. My names Lily, not Sarah!
Albus returned with Harry looking embarassed.

"I'm sorry sir." Harry blushed.

"Curiosity is not a sin. Before you got caught up in my thoughts, you wanted to tell me something?" Albus asked.

"That stuffs your thoughts?" Harry asked stunned.

Albus answered by taking his wand and putting it to his temple.

"I fell aslerp in Divination  had a dream about Voldemort and Wormtail. He said that Wormtail made a blunder. He said he wouldn't be feeding him to the snake, he'd feed me. My scar was hurting so badly." Harry explained slowly.

"I see, tell me, has your scar hurt you any other time besides when it woke you last summer?" Albus asked.

"How did you know about that?" Harry asked surprised.

"You are not Sirius' only corespondant. I've kept in contact with him, it was me who suggested the mountains be the safest place." Albus explained. 

"Do you know why my scars hurting?"
 
"I have a thory, no more than that...it is my belief that your scar hurts both when Lord Voldemort is near you and when he's feeling hatred."

"But why?"

"Because you two are connected by a curse that failed." Said Albus. "That is no ordinary scar."

The two went into an in depth conversation about the dream actually happening and if he's getting stronger and his suspicions.

He turned to me, "How can I help you Sarah?"

"Albus, my names Lily. And yes, during the time my brother had that dream, I had one as well in Professor Snape's class. I could see two different things at once. One was Harry's dream, the other was how Harry was reacting during the dream. Can you tell me why?" I asked curiously.

"Lily, do you know when you got your scar?" Albus asked.

"My guardian told me that originally it was a birthmark, but now I don't know. I can't remember." I answered.

Albus noddeed. "You got that scar the same time Harry got his. You are protected by your father's love Lily, because your father saved you by sending you to your godfather. The same goes for Harry."

"Professor, could I ask you something I saw in the pensieve?" Harry asked.

"You could, I've attended it many times."

"The trial you found me in, were  they talking about Nevilles parents?" Harry asked.

"Has Neville never told you why he had to live with his grandmother?" Albus asked.

Harry shook his head

"Yes they were talking about Nevilles parents, his father Frank and his wife Alice were tortured for info on Voldemorts whereabouts."

"They're dead?"

"No they are insane. They are both in St. Mungos Hospital for Magical Maladies  and Injuries. I believe Neville still visits them, but they dont recognise him." Albus replied.

"I know about that, I remember my guardian telling me about it." I replied.

"Bagman.. "

"Has never been accused of   any Dark activity since."

"What about Snape? Why did he stop serving Voldemort?" Harry asked.

I held my breath. "That's between Professor Snape and myself. Please don't tell anyone about Nevilles parents, he deserves to tell them when he's ready. Harry good luck with the third task. Sarah, I'd like to talk to you a moment." Albus said as Harry left.

"Severus told me he's transferring you here. Your name will be Sarah, I'm afraid. Sarah Abott, older sister to Lily Abott." Albus explained.

"Fine, does that mean I'll be a Muggle-born? Not that it matters of course. I made a friend in the Slytherin, and I want him to know it's me." I protested.

"Mr. Malfoy will be notified about who you are. We will swear him to secrecy." Albus replied.

"What house will I be in? Sev said not to go into Slytherin,  it takes too much guts to make it in there." I shuddered.

"Why don't we see right now? Next year, you can try the hat on again and see what it says. If it says the same house now, that's the one you go into. If not, you can choose which one." Albus said waving his wand to bring the Sorting Hat onto my head.

"Another Potter! Difficult, a sharp mind like a Ravenclaw, but loyalty and bravery. Hm...Ravenclaw or Gryffindor..." the hat mumbled. It remained quiet for 20 minutes. Finally, "Ravenclaw!"

My jaw dropped, I knew I was smart, but not that smart. "Wow."

Albus chuckled. "You can see at the beginning of next term what house you'll be."

"Thanks, Ron and Hermione, should they be trusted. Right now only you, me, Sev and Harry know the truth." I commented.

"They are, but I would advise you not to....at least until next term." Albus replied.

"I'd better go. Fleur will need my help." I said leaving the office.
